Find the coordinates of the foci and the vertices,the eccentricity,and the length of the latus rectum of the hyperbola $5y^{2} - 9x^{2} = 36$.

Consider the hyperbola $\frac{x^2}{100}-\frac{y^2}{64}=1$ with foci at $S$ and $S_1$,where $S$ lies on the positive $x$-axis. Let $P$ be a point on the hyperbola,in the first quadrant. Let $\angle SPS_1 = \alpha$,with $\alpha < \frac{\pi}{2}$. The straight line passing through the point $S$ and having the same slope as that of the tangent at $P$ to the hyperbola,intersects the straight line $S_1P$ at $P_1$. Let $\delta$ be the distance of $P$ from the straight line $SP_1$,and $\beta = S_1P$. Then the greatest integer less than or equal to $\frac{\beta \delta}{9} \sin \frac{\alpha}{2}$ is:
